In my opinion, the side effects of Cellulaze are well described by the other experts. Some less common side effects include small blood vessels (telangectasia) and hyperpigmentation. The first is caused by the surgeon going too superficially. The second is common at incision sites in darker skin patients. Treatment with bleaching cream should be iniated early for prevention.Good luck!

The most common things to expect during your recovery initially would be swelling, bruising, some oozing from incision sites (for the first 12-24 hours), tenderness/soreness. Bruising and tenderness should resolve over the 2-3 weeks. Swelling may persist a few weeks longer. Some patients experience patchy areas of numbness or tingling after the procedure that will resolve over time. All of these things are quite normal and expected and do go away on their own with no extra attention needed.

Cellulaze is a FDA approved one time treatment that utilizes a 1440 nm wavelength laser to accomplish 3 things: 1) melt away fat bulging out 2) break up fibrous septae (attachments) that create the indentations and 3) help thicken the dermis (skin) to prevent future recurrence. The procedure can take between 60-90 minutes and can be completed under local or just IV sedation (depending on the length of your procedure and number of areas being treated). To see your final results takes between 3-6 months. You can visit the cellulaze . com website to learn more about the procedure and find a plastic surgeon who performs the procedure near you. Best of luck!

It seems the side effects or complications are doctor dependent. In that understanding appropriate patient selection, informed consenting are paramount. Seromas are by far the #1 risk, followed by black and blue (ecchymosis), continued irregularities, burns, poor results. Regards Dr. B, MIAMI

Cellulaze is a surgical treatment so you will experience some soreness afterwards and probably bruising. Some people bruise very little and some have a lot more bruising. Arnica can help. Infection is possible but very rare, I've never seen it. The skin may feel numb afterwards, but it recovers in time.

The Cellulaze cellulite laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light bruising can occur, but you'll be able to return to normal activities within a day or two. Your physician may ask you to wear a compression garment for a short period after treatment. Following a Cellulaze cellulite laser treatment, you may experience some aches, much like after a physical workout.
